Panchmukhi Hanuman 2

This devotional tableau places Hanuman at the still center of a swirling cosmology, his closed eyes and raised palm—inscribed with “राम”—turning faith into a tactile gesture of protection and surrender. Around him, the multi-hued animal visages read like a mandala of virtues and instincts, suggesting the many forms through which divine strength can be mirrored in the living world. The warm golds and saffrons radiate outward as a sanctified aura, while the cooler blues and greys at the periphery carry the restless motion of epic episodes—service, toil, and miracle—so the painting becomes less an illustration than a map of devotion moving through time. In this balance between ornamental symmetry and narrative scatter, the work proposes that true power is not conquest but unwavering, compassionate resolve.
